Left-Side Versus Right-Side Lateral Tilt During Maternal CPR: Effects on Compression Quality and Rescuer Fatigue.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Maternal cardiac arrest presents unique challenges due to physiological changes in pregnancy. Left lateral tilt (LLT) is commonly recommended to relieve aortocaval compression, but its impact on chest compression quality remains unclear. Objectives: This study evaluates chest compressions performed in the LLT position from both the right and left sides to determine if they meet high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation standards. Methods: This randomized crossover study included 44 healthcare providers performing two-minute chest compressions' sessions on a manikin in the LLT position from both right and left sides. Compression depth, rate, recoil, force distribution, rescuer fatigue, and physiological parameters were analyzed. Results: Both approaches maintained adequate compression rates, but left-side LLT chest compressions achieved better depth (41.23 ± 9.11 mm vs. 35.50 ± 9.54 mm, Conclusion: Left-side LLT chest compression provides superior compression depth and recoil compared with right-side LLT chest compression. However, neither method consistently meets high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation standards. These findings support the 2015 AHA guideline preference for manual uterine displacement over LLT chest compression. Further research is needed to optimize maternal cardiac arrest management.
